It is a variant of [[German Rummy]] dating to the early 20th century.<ref name=EPTS>Carlisle, Rodney P (editor). ''Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society, Volume 1'' Thousand Oaks: Sage (2009), p. 615.</ref> Being derived from normal [[rummy]], it emphasises arrangement of cards based on card matching rules (generally simplified, but thereby no less challenging), while abandoning the notions of card discards and scoring entirely.
